This wide-ranging collection of edited papers examines the many mechanisms that allow parasites to survive and interact in a host environment. The research explains how a more knowledgeable understanding of host-parasite interactions aids in the development of unique strategies for vaccine design and applied research in clinical diagnostics and therapeutics. Divided into five parts, the text covers gene expression during parasite differentiation and development; the potential for molecular genetics in parasite systems; molecules of the parasite membrane; molecular modeling and parasite drug design; and vaccines.
